Family footwear shop Brantano is again offering to convert old shoes into funds for Tommy’s, the research charity that funds research into miscarriage, premature birth and stillbirth.

For every pair of old shoes donated at any of Brantano’s 145 stores between 25 May and 30 June, the company will donate 20p to the charity. Last year the campaign raised £6,000 for Tommy’s.

In addition, following the Oxfam/M&S partnership model, shoe donors will receive a voucher for £5 off a new pair of shoes when they spend £25 or more.

All the shoes Brantano collect will be passed on to a charity in Africa.

Brantano has partnered with Tommy’s for the past eight years.
